Balsamic Chicken with White Beans and Spinach

Reviewed: Apr. 26, 2011

What a wonderful dish. I did add onion and mushrooms to the garlic. I cut the balsamic vinegar with chicken broth, probably half and half because I know my husband doesn't like much vinegar. He loved it and he's not fond of any chicken breast meal. A great recipe and it leaves room for you to add your own touches.

Picadillo

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2010

I made this for dinner last night. Both my husband and I loved the blend of flavors. He requested I add it to my rotation of menus. I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch.

Great Garlic Beer Steaks

Reviewed: Jun. 27, 2009

I have been using this marinade for about two years now. We really love it. I finally remembered to come in to review it as I have steaks marinating in it right now. I make the marinade just as the recipe says, we love the taste of the oyster sauce.

Wonderful!! I took the advice from others and used diced tomatoes, some red pepper flakes, and added mushrooms. I used the heavy cream. It was great. My husband loved it. It is a keeper.

French Silk Chocolate Pie II

Reviewed: Dec. 26, 2008

My first try at a French Silk pie and it turned out wonderful. I read the reviews and increased the cocoa to 8 Tbsp which was just right for us. I had no trouble getting it to set up. I did have to beat it a long time to get the sugar to incorporate. It was well worth the time.

Busy Night Turkey Taco Soup with Avocado Cream

Reviewed: Nov. 29, 2008

I just made this tonight with our leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Very very good. I made one substitution. I used black beans rather than chili beans. My husband is not a big fan of TexMex food but he also liked it. Thanks for the easy recipe

French Dip Sandwiches

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2008

Excellent recipe. The beef was wonderfully tender and moist. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 it was a little to much soy sauce for us. Next time I would use 1/4 cup of soy sauce and 1/4 cup of beef broth but otherwise it was very good.

Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 1, 2008

My husband usually doesn't like chicken breasts. His comment on this one was that it was "moist and flavorful" that means it was a hit. The only thing I did differently was to baste the chicken breasts with the marinade about an hour before I put them on the grill. I will be making this again.

Herb Rubbed Sirloin Tip Roast

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2008

This is the best. I have struggled to make a good sirloin tip roast. They have always been dry. I followed the recipe although I substitued tarragon for the oregano and thyme ( a personal preference) baked until the temp was 142 F after it sat for 15 minutes it was at 146 F. A lovely medium rare. Was wonderfully juicy. My husband loved it. Will definately make it again.

Simply Lasagna

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2007

I'd been looking for a lasagna recipe that I didn't have to cook the noodles. This one turned out great. I jazzed it up abit and added onion, garlic and green pepper when I browned the meat. The noodles came out nice and tender.

Garlic Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2006

Excellent roasted chicken. Very moist and tender. I followed the recipe exactly but used half chicken broth and half wine. I did have to add quite abit more liquid to the roasting pan. The gravy was very good. I will definately make this again.

Greek Salad

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2005

A wonderful salad. My husband loved it and he's not always fond of salads. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I used the kalmata olives and they gave it a wonderful flavor. I made up just a little more of the dressing as there wasn't quite enough to coat the greens.
